Earthquake Ready Burnside Bridge Update

What could the future Burnside Bridge look like? Portland’s aging downtown bridges are not expected to withstand a major earthquake. That’s why Multnomah County is taking the lead on making at least one crossing earthquake ready. After considering over 100 options, the Replacement Long Span Bridge was recommended as the preferred bridge alternative to move forward into design. An important next step in the process is to select the type of long span bridge to build. Join this discussion to review a range of different bridge types being considered for the future Earthquake Ready Burnside Bridge.
